Thanks markof, I got it to work. I followed your steps and once I got the 64-bit version of MX, I was successful at creating the .project. Strangely, I had to try a couple of times until it worked. Now that I have the IDE project setup, when I update the MX file with new pinouts, configs, etc., I can easily generate the code and port it over to the IDE. Thanks again for your help.
